Background

Following a discussion at the 2014 DELPH-IN Summit in Tomar, the purpose of this page is to collect links to work that uses DELPH-IN tools and resources in various applications, with links to publications and source code, where available, but not limited to work that has been published. Papers marked with an asterisk at the end of the title describe state-of-the-art results (as of the time of writing).
